Game Preview: Mets @ Athletics - Elliot Teichman does a good job previewing each Mets game - Here is one of the facts from today's preview - "Only two Mets on the current roster have seen Cole [Irvin] in a major league game (Darin Ruf 2-3, K and Jeff McNeil 1-1)."


SNY.TV: Mets Injury Tracker: Brandon Nimmo's MRI comes back 'clean,' remains day-to-day.

SNY.TV: Could Francisco Alvarez's hot stretch give Mets something to think about? "Mets are in dire need of right-handed power at DH and off the bench. In eight games...Alvarez is slashing .387/.441/.742 with three home runs and two doubles. Over his last four games, Alvarez is 8-for-16 with nine RBI."

1962

In his first major league start, 17 year-old first baseman Ed Kranepool gets his first hit, an eighth-inning double at the Polo Grounds in the Mets' 2-1 walk-off victory over Chicago. When the former James Monroe High School standout retires, he will be the franchise leader in eight offensive categories, including collecting 1418 hits during his 18 seasons with the team.

1969

Exactly one year after their manager suffered a heart attack in the dugout during a game against Atlanta, the Mets give Gil Hodges a reason to breathe a bit easier when the team clinches a tie for the NL East flag by beating the Cardinals, 3-2, on an 11th inning walk-off single stroked by Bud Harrelson off Bob Gibson. Prior to the Shea Stadium victory, Linton H. Bishop, Jr., the skipper's cardiologist, had sent him a telegram that read, "Happy to see you're No. 1. Hope your team does as well as your heart."

2008

Jose Reyes collects his 200th hit of the season with a bases-loaded triple in a much-needed Mets 6-2 victory over the Cubs at Shea Stadium. The 25 year-old shortstop joins Lance Johnson (1996) as one of the only two players in franchise history to reach the esteemed plateau.

Baseball Reference:

1964: The Mets surprise the Cards and Roger Craig, 2 - 1, scoring the winner on an error. The Cards' only run is Bill White's homer off Galen Cisco. Cards manager Johnny Keane is quoted as saying he has no idea whether he will be asked to return as Cards manager next year.
